Chapter 879: Our ancestral home is in Beijing
Old Man Su looked at his sons, and his anger subsided a lot.
Did he say that? Or did he say that?
"Everyone, get up! Why are you kneeling?" Old Man Su said in a muffled voice, "Isn't it just a century-old family? It's nothing special!"
The brothers looked at each other and stood up.
"Dad, you're right! It's nothing special!" Su Laoer said nonchalantly, "In another hundred or eighty years, even without us, our family will have become a century-old family! But, Dad, where is our ancestral home?"
Old Man Su: “…”
Native place?
Old man Su was in a trance.
Then he glared at Su Laoer.
"Why are you asking so many questions?" Old Man Su said unhappily, "You want to get beaten, don't you?"
Su Laoer: "..."
Dad, your evasive attitude is very bad!
However, he didn't dare say it out loud.
Su Lao Er bumped into Su Lao Da.
As the eldest brother, Su Laoda had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Dad, you said that our Su family hasn't had any daughters for generations, but... where are those generations?"
Boss Su paused, looked at Old Man Su's expression, and mustered up the courage to continue, "You said my great grandfather and great-grandfather didn't have any daughters, but our family cemetery only has one grave mound. Where are the graves of my great grandfather and great-grandfather?"
When he was young, his father didn't let him ask. He had vaguely heard some things and had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't dare to ask in detail.
Later, when he grew up, he felt sad whenever he asked his father, so he stopped asking.
But now, something is obviously wrong!
If they don't ask clearly, they will be fine in Daliushu Village, but the fifth brother and his sister went to the capital. What if they are plotted against by the Su family in the capital?
Old Man Su naturally knew his sons' worries. He picked up the cold teacup on the table and was about to drink it when Tang Bao, who had been sitting quietly without saying anything, quickly said, "Dad, that tea is cold. Have this hot one."
Tang Bao said this and poured another cup of hot tea for Old Man Su.
Old man Su couldn't help but sigh that his little girl was really thoughtful.
Unlike these brats, who always say things that hurt him!
Even though he knew he didn't want them to ask, he still kept digging into the matter.
In fact, Tang Bao was also very curious, but her brothers would definitely ask, so she just listened from the side.
Anyway, you will know what you should know sooner or later.
Her father couldn't avoid it even if he wanted to.
Old Man Su drank a cup of hot tea and finally said, "Our family's ancestral home is in the capital."
The Su brothers: "..."
So that's right.
Su Laowu pondered and said, "Dad, since our ancestral home is in the capital, when I go to the capital to take the imperial examination, I will have to go and pay homage to my ancestors..."
"Old Five is right!" Su Lao Er said immediately, "Dad, you should have said this earlier. In recent years, Old Three has been traveling to the capital frequently, but he hasn't gone to visit our ancestors' graves. We shouldn't let our ancestors blame us."
Boss Su also agreed with what Boss Su said.
"Dad, now that our family is doing well, we should take some time to go to Beijing to pay respects to our ancestors, then add some soil and repair their tombs..." said the eldest brother Su. "As the saying goes, it brings honor to the family. When the fifth child graduates from high school, we can comfort our ancestors and burn a few incense sticks at their tombs..."
After hearing what his sons said, Old Man Su's expression relaxed.
He was unfilial. In the past few years, he would occasionally go to Beijing to visit the graves, but in recent years, he has not been there again...
After all, they are father and son. When old man Su had something in mind, the brothers of the Su family immediately noticed it.
Su Laowu said, "Dad, how about this? When my sister and I go to Beijing, you and mother can go with us, so you won't worry about my sister..."
"Dad, if you ask me, why don't we all go together?" Su Laoer said bluntly, "If we run into that century-old family, we'll have more people if a fight breaks out, right?"
Su Lao Er has already determined that his family has a grudge against the Su family in the capital.
Not only did he think so, but Su Lao Da and Su Lao Wu also thought so.
Moreover, his own people were definitely no match for the others, and they were squeezed out by them so much that they couldn't even stand in the capital, so they had to take refuge in the countryside thousands of miles away.
It can be seen that my family must have suffered a great loss that year.
However, none of the brothers dared to say such words.
Old Man Su glared at Old Second Su and said, "What are you fighting for? You're an official now, and you keep asking for trouble. Are you still an official?"
Su Laoer said nonchalantly, "You can't be bullied while on duty, right? If you can't protect your family while on duty, then what's the point of being a duty officer? You might as well go home and farm happily!"
Old Man Su: “…”
That's true.
"Okay, let me think about this matter first." Old Man Su said, "Go do what you need to do and don't bother me here!"
The Su brothers looked at each other.
Su Laoda said, "Dad, let's go out first. You should think about it carefully and discuss it with Mom. Ancestor worship is a big event, so we have to make careful preparations."
Old Man Su waved at Boss Su without even raising his head.
The Su brothers had no choice but to go out.
But just before leaving, everyone winked at Tang Bao in unison.
Tang Bao: “…”
Well, she stayed to get the news.
Although Old Mrs. Su was in the room, she didn't say anything.
Now that he saw that his sons had all gone out, he couldn't help but glance at his little daughter.
Tang Bao gave Mrs. Su an innocent look in return.
It means: Just pretend I don’t exist.
Old Mrs. Su gave Tang Bao a helpless look.
Tang Bao giggled.
She knew that her parents would whisper to each other.
Naturally, her brothers guessed it too.
"His father, it's been so many years, what else is there to let go of?" Old Madam Su said gently, "Now we have a son and a daughter, you are an official, and Tang Bao has been canonized as a princess..."
Mrs. Su paused, looked at Old Man Su's expression, and continued, "With so much good news, I should go to my parents' graves to announce it and let them be happy..."
After hearing what his wife said, Old Man Su sighed deeply.
"I am unfilial. I haven't returned to Beijing for so many years to add soil to my parents' graves." said Old Man Su.
Tang Bao blinked.
What did she hear?
Aren’t her grandparents’ graves in the cemetery outside the village?
How did you get to the capital?
Although the girl did not need to visit the graves, when her "sixth brother" was buried, she went to the Su family cemetery and saw a grave mound there.
Could it be that... the people buried in there aren't her grandparents?
Tang Bao was surprised.
"Originally, this cenotaph was built just to facilitate worship." Old Man Su said with a look of self-blame, "Gradually, it was used as a real tomb, and I forgot to go to the capital to worship my parents..."
Tang Bao: “…”
